An example of his vivid descriptions are the details Bradbury has on the hands of the main character, Guy Montag. During Montag's riot in “Fahrenheit 451,” Ray Bradbury describes how he savagely destroys a book. “His hands, His hands, alone, like two men working together, began to tear the pages from the book” (Bradbury 41). What Bradbury is able to do here is describe how Montag is frantically destroying the book using personification, comparing the strength of his hands to that of men. However, it also serves to show the reader that Montag has this internal conflict. He must choose whether to remain faithful to the world he knows and burn the books, or follow his curiosity and seek the truth. This conflict results in the destruction he creates by destroying the books. McGivern describes him similarly, saying that: “His hand, of course, is not possessed by 'a madness of senselessness.' In contrast, Montag has 'a conscience and a curiosity...' but, still reluctant to acknowledge them, he projects them into his hands” (McGovern 178). McGovern describes her not as a destructive force, but simply as a representation of Montag's internal conflicts. Bradbury, however, manages to trigger this internal conflict by introducing a character and a traumatic event that began Montag's dangerous journey in search of treasure.
